the head from a meccanoid M.A.X looks great for a robot building. would this face work with rgb ARC?

Hi @Nomad,
I'm not sure how those eyes communicate but since it's 3 wire I'm assuming likely a serial protocol. The RGB control in ARC wouldn't work with these Eyes since it communicates with 4 wire I2C.
That being said, maybe some one out there has reverse-engineered the protocol for these eyes and you could possibly use an EZ-B digital port to control the eyes.
hi jeremie
lets hope someone knows something.the gripper looks also great. to bad you cant by them separt.aldo there are a few on ebay, reasonble prized arround 50 dollar.its od you cant find any eyes, similar like this.
i got my tools to open the eyes,and what do you know.there are two 8x8 ada fruit in there.but no 4 wire connection.
i hope they soon come in stock.
Those are definitely serial (uart) and would be easy to control by the ezb. The only thing you’d need is the communication protocol.
hi dj
this is for me chinese.do you have some i can start with.
This might be a weird non standard serial comm. I looked at this dudes arduino library and he’s not using a standard serial library. I’m guessing it’s some weird custom thing. You could get a small cheap arduino and use his library to act as a middle man between the ezb and Meccano devices.
Here’s his library: https://github.com/MrDreamBot/MeccaChannel
hope that ez 8x8 soon come in then.cut it out and replace with ez 8x8. i cant hardly wait to see the effect.i have plenty of room for lotiny's and, batts in the head.
:(i dont have them anymore.
